NEWARK — A confrontation at a bodega left two people shot on Christmas, police said.

Two men had a dispute in the Los Tiburones Supermarket on Bergen Street, about 5 p.m., and the unnamed suspect pulled a gun from his waistband and shot the victim twice in the chest, said Detective Todd McClendon.

A female bystander was also shot once in the leg, the detective added.

The victim, who was only identified as a 27-year-old man from Newark, was taken to University Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. The woman was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The Newark Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit is still investigating the shooting, McClendon added.
